0360: Zhao Zilong makes a surprise attack on Dong'a
Thinking of this, Xiahoudun knew that there was no way to avoid it. He didn't see the Huwei army with backup soldiers and horses to participate in the battle, and Xiahoudun made up his mind.
led the soldiers and horses in the village, shouted and killed out of the village.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and ordered the horn cannon to be fired, personally led the Chinese army, and rushed forward to meet Xiahoudun.
Dian Wei was ambushed in the rear army, and when he heard the front army horn cannon sounding, he knew that it was a signal. Hurriedly led the soldiers and horses, bypassed the battlefield, and came straight behind the Xiahoudun camp.
At this time, the Xiahou Dun Village was empty, and most of the soldiers and horses were in the front camp to watch the battle. Dian Wei took the lead, brandished his halberd and broke into the door, shouting and killing.
The defenders in the village were suddenly attacked, and they were immediately panicked and chaotic. Dian Wei led the soldiers and horses to the left camp, found Xiahoudun's grain and grass tent, and ordered fires to be lit on all sides.
Suddenly, the camp was blazing, scraping and burning. The fire spread and the camp was all over the place.
Xiahoudun and Xu Huang and other generals were fighting hard, when they suddenly heard the soldiers shouting, "There is a fire in the camp!" ”。 When I looked back, I saw that the flames were soaring into the sky.
Xiahoudun and the other generals were all frightened, did not dare to fight again, and fled separately.
Dian Wei burned the grain and grass, led the soldiers and horses out of the village, and happened to run into the enemy army and fled, so he led the soldiers and horses to rush up, and killed for a while.
Xiahoudun, Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Yu Ban rushed away from each other and scattered. The soldiers and horses under his command fled to death, and seven or eight out of ten were broken.
Guan Yu won a big victory without stopping. After Zhou Cang led 5,000 soldiers and horses, he returned to Langya to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. Since joining forces with Dian Wei, the fast horse galloped and went straight to Xiapi.
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the letter, he couldn't imagine that Xiahoudun would lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, and as soon as Guan Yu's army arrived, he would be defeated immediately.
This threat was too big for Cao Cao, and in fear, Cao Cao hurriedly sent an order: "Cao Hong! ”
"The last general!"
"You quickly lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Xiaopei to protect my retreat!"
"Order!"
Cao Cao gave another order: "Cao Xiu listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"With your 50,000 elite soldiers, go north to the East China Sea and block Guan Yu!"
Cao Xiu hesitated for a moment before replying: "Order."
The two generals had just received the order and were about to leave. Outside the tent, a person ran in in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and hurriedly reported to Cao Cao: "Lord! Big things are not good! Gao Yun broke Yuan Shao and took Qinghe. Now Zhao Yun led his troops out of Yangping to the south and attacked Dong'a very urgently! General Xiahou Shang can't resist the enemy, pray for the lord to rescue! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was like a scoop of cold water on his head, and he stood on the spot. It took a while to come to his senses, and hurriedly stopped Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, the second general, and ordered: "If Zhao Yun breaks Dong'a, then Yanzhou will be in danger!" I have to save my roots. Quickly pass the order, inform the soldiers and horses everywhere, return to Yanzhou quickly, and break Zhao Yun first! ”
issued a military order, Cao Cao was worried about Yanzhou, and he did not wait for Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other soldiers and horses. He led the Chinese army, evacuated overnight, and hurried back to Yanzhou.
Sun Ce led 50,000 soldiers and horses to confront Xu Chu south of Xiapi, and the two sides fought several battles, each with victory or defeat.
When Xu Chu heard Cao Cao's order, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly evacuated. Sun Ce covered up the slaughter from behind, won a complete victory, captured thousands of enemies, and collected a large number of blades, chariots and horses.
learned that Cao Cao had retreated, and heard that Guan Yu had led his troops to Xiapi. Sun Ce also felt that he had no face to see Guan Yu, so he sent someone to send a letter to express his arguments. Then he led the soldiers and horses back the same way, crossed the river and went to Jianye.
Guan Yu returned to Xiapi, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had already withdrawn. Xiao Zhuge Liang saw Guan Yu and was overjoyed. Guan Yu listened to Zhuge Liang's arrangement of troops and troops to block Cao Cao's 300,000 soldiers and horses, and he was full of praise for Zhuge Liang, and said to everyone: "No wonder when I came, my eldest brother instructed me to march cautiously and not to be impatient. said that there is Xiao Ming in Xuzhou, at least within a month, there will be no loss. Now it seems that it is not so! Hahahaha! ”
Xiao Zhuge Liang is still an eleven-year-old child after all, and he was overjoyed to hear everyone's praise. On a happy occasion, he took out the gold medal of the tiger charm and handed over the order to Yu'er in a serious manner.
Yu'er took the token, handed it to Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "I'm a woman, and I don't know anything about the marching formation. This time, Xia Pi was able to be safe and sound, thanks to Xiao Ming's scheduling, and all the adults used their lives. Now fortunately, the second uncle has returned, and Xuzhou is fine. That is, ask the second uncle to take charge of state affairs and supervise military affairs."
Guan Yu has followed Gao Yun for many years, he is like a brother, and he is not polite to Yu'er, he stretched out his hand to take the token, and promised: "Thanks to my sister-in-law's weight, Guan Yu will not be dishonored!" ”
When Yu'er saw Guan Yu's promise, she also had a matter on her mind. Knowing that Guan Yu was going to arrange soldiers and horses, he didn't bother much, and led all the ladies to say goodbye and go back to the house.
After Guan Yu sent a few sisters-in-law away, he immediately ordered the account to be raised and convened everyone to discuss the defense of Xuzhou. asked Zhuge Liang first: "Xiao Ming, your fourth uncle's attack on Dong'e is a suspicious tactic." Although Cao Cao temporarily retreated, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not come back. Now that the war in Hebei is burning, General Huwei is afraid that he will not be able to return in March or May. Do you have a good plan for Xuzhou's guarding? ”
Xiao Zhuge Liang stepped forward and replied, "Second Uncle Rongyu." This Xuzhou is the imperial city, where the Son of Heaven is located. Cao Cao used troops and horses to attack the imperial capital, but he was an accomplice to rebel and intend to usurp, and the crime cannot be punished. With the meaning of his nephew, he can spread the edict to the world, count Cao Cao's usurpation crimes, and make the princes fight together! Although this plan may not work, it will definitely make Cao Cao frightened. He was afraid that Liu Bei and Liu Biao would respond to the edict, so he had to increase troops to guard Xiliang and Nanyang. As a result, Cao Cao's troops were scattered, even if he wanted to try Xuzhou, but he couldn't do it, and this was one of them! ”
Guan Yu stroked his palms and praised, "Good! Keep talking! ”
Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said: "Cao Cao raised hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to attack this time, but he lost his troops and returned home. As expected by his nephew, Cao Cao must be unwilling. However, at this time, with the second uncle sitting in Xuzhou, Cao Cao would never dare to covet the imperial city again. If the fourth uncle's soldiers and horses retreat, I am afraid that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack the outer counties. Now that Xiao Pei has been lost, if Cao Cao wants to invade the state and county, he must first take Pengcheng and Qian County. At present, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and my nephew thinks that it is also necessary to divide the army to garrison."
Guan Yu nodded, "Okay!" What Xiao Ming said, they all want to join forces, what do you think? ”
All the civil and military generals below were all impressed by Xiao Zhuge Liang's strategy and praised them in unison.
Guan Yu laughed, made a plan, and immediately arranged according to the plan.
Pengcheng is adjacent to Xiapi, and it is relatively easy to defend and reinforce, Guan Yu made Dian Wei lead the tiger to order soldiers and horses to defend Pengcheng; So that Zhang Tong and Zhuge Liang still led 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xiapi. The two are horns against each other, just in case.
Guan Yu personally led the tiger roar to order 50,000 male soldiers to defend and resist Cao Cao.
Cao Cao led his troops and horses to retreat to Yanzhou in a hurry, and as soon as he was halfway through the retreat, a scout Pegasus came to report that Zhao Yun had suddenly withdrawn.
Cao Cao shook his head on the horse and smiled bitterly, "Gao Pufang, I am the only enemy in this life!" ”
